Intro from pattern: I made these beanies for my son, nephew, and niece, using leftover acrylics from my various knit and crochet projects. Although, the pattern is written to make use of assortments of worsted weight yarn, it works just as well for single skeins of your favourite ones. The design as written works best for wool and its blends, acrylics or cotton yarn. There are two styles available - first being a simple stockinette body hat with 3 round stripes of each colour; second style has a starting purl ridge for each colour stripe (number of rounds in each stripe varies as per availability of yarn), which gives even more pop of colour on each stripe. Choose to make yours exactly like mine, or get creative!!!
